I broke my ankle horribly in 1980 at age 18, and got no physio. (Looking back, since I could barely walk after the cast was removed after 14 weeks, I probably should have gotten some, but I was young and what did I know then?)
In the past 10-15 years, for major injuries (broken thumb, torn meniscus), and some minor ones (tendonitis, arthritis), I have been offered physio. It does work for me, but usually in 12 weeks, not the 6 weeks that is normally prescribed. It means that I have to go back and get another prescription if the first 6 weeks didn't get me totally back in working order, but that inconvenience is so worth it.
